I can not remember the year of publication (1982?), but inadvertently, this book single handedly started the &quot;cookie cutter kata&quot; phase several years after publication.<br />Nnk prior to that time was more alive and personalized, with each individual performing it as it worked for him/her. I am a firm believer that such freedom to make each technique one&#39;s own can improve your personal judo. kodokanjudohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15409215580765000935noreply@blogger.com
